{"product_id":"antoninus-florentinus-1","title":"ANTONINUS FLORENTINUS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fourth incunable edition of this important theological work concerning indulgences. Antoninus Florentinus (1389-1459) was Dominican Archbishop of Florence and author of influential works on moral theology. He advised the Pope during the Council of Florence (1431-49).  Decisio  is devoted to the pardon, in the form of indulgences, enacted for the fourth Jubilee of Indulgences, in 1450, known as  the Golden Year . Princes from all over Europe and tens of thousands of pilgrims visited Rome in that year.  Pope Nicholas V gave his solemn blessing every Sunday, and when the crisis [caused by the huge crowds] became more pressing, he proclaimed an edict that pilgrims would gain the Jubilee Indulgence by making a good confession and visiting the Basilicas in just three days  (O Gorman, p.35). It was one of the most successful medieval Jubilees, and Nicholas V  revived  the indulgence in 1455 for those who had not been able to visit Rome in 1450.  Decisio  examines in detail all the technicalities of indulgencies: e.g, whether an indulgence enacted by a living person may apply to a dead person and remove them from Purgatory (a recently codified concept) or from mortal sin; what is the nature of an indulgence and its theological principles; the equivalence between days of indulgence and days of penitence; whether an indulgence may expire after the death of the religious who granted it; regulations concerning visits to specific places to obtain an indulgence; plenary indulgence earned fighting against the Ottomans; who can grant an indulgence and how to interpret the instructions provided in papal bulls in this matter; types of remission of sins, etc. The final few ll. focus on the 1450 Jubilee indulgence, which followed Clement VI s regulations. An interesting and curious work of theology and ecclesiastical policy.  \u003cbr\u003e\n Only LC copy recorded in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANTONINUS FLORENTINUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57868798984527,"sku":"L1612","price":4750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/2425\/0703\/files\/IMG_3359.webp?v=1781793325","url":"https:\/\/sokol-books-ltd.myshopify.com\/products\/antoninus-florentinus-1","provider":"Sokol Books Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
